THE  GOVERNMENT  HOofe.      1795 

THE    ICONOGRAPHY    OE/THE    BATTERY    AND 
CASTLE /GARDEN 


n 


THE  view  of  the  Government/House 
here  reproduced  from  the/plate  in 
the  New  York  Magazine  of/ January, 
1795,  is  taken  from  the  nori^west  corner 
of  the  Battery  near  the  end/x>f  Greenwich 
Street.  It  exhibits  a  parj/of  the  city  and 
some  portion  of  the  gre§n  and  walk  on  the 
Battery. 

John  Drayton's  /Tour  Through  the 
Northern  and  Eastern  States  in  1794" 
contains  a  prett/ copper-plate  engraving 
of  the  Battery'  from  a  drawing  by  the 
author  himsett.  It  is  an  important  little 
picture  in  Jfae  iconography  of  New  York 
City,  for  n  is  the  only  one  in  existence,  so 
far  as  Lrcnow,  which  shows  the  Battery  at 
this  jrarticular  time  from  the  landward 
side.  This  view  is  accompanied  by  the 
following  interesting  narrative  from  the 


pen  of    ou^r    distinguished   visitor  from 
South  Carolina: 

"After  passtog  these  islands  we  came 
opposite  the  Bakery,  which  is  at  the  ex- 
treme point  of  thV  town,  and  is  situated 
much  like  that  whicVwas  at  White  Point 
at  Charlestown.  It  nas  no  merlons  or 
embrasures,  but  the  guns\( which  are  thir- 
teen in  number)  are  placed>upon  carriages 
on  a  stone  platform  en  barbette,  some  few 
feet  above  the  level  of  the  \ater.  Be- 
tween the  guns  and  the  water  isy,  public 
walk,  made  by  a  gentle  decline  frVn  the 
platform,  and  going  round  the  ground 
upon  which  the  Battery  is  placed.  SoHne 
little  distance  behind  the  guns  two  ro~\ 
of  elm  trees  are  planted,  which,  in  a  short" 
time,  will  afford  an  agreeable  shade.  The 
flag  staff  rises  from  the  midst  of  a  stone
